Microsoft Office dilemma -- to upgrade or not?

I have a trial version of Office 2007 and do not like it! I'm used to 2003. Should I stick with that? Geraldine Mason

Office 2007 makes it easier to find and use more of the functionality in the Office suite, learn new things and produce better results. However, if you just want to do the things you already know how to do, it is easier to stick with Office 2003. Either way, it's important to have at least Office 2000, XP or 2003, since these will have compatibility packs to handle the new Office 2007 XML file formats. Earlier versions are now obsolete.
